We have made forward progress since that thread (we fixed the plpgsql
parsing issues, partially in 8.4 and completely for 9.0). We can
continue to make forward progress in the future. But *right now is not
the time*. We have more than enough on our plates for 9.0 already, and
just about nobody believes we are going to meet the schedule now.
